Interview with Judy Pfaff
Tirzo Martha: Things in Perpetual Becoming
Nancy Baker Cahill: An Invitation to Future Species
“What I’m especially excited to share in my own practice is a process of mutation, translation, and mediation. And so, what we’re really doing is tracing a trajectory of lines on—in this case, paper—but let’s say just a wall. I take those drawings, tear them into 3-D objects, then combine and recombine them into immersive 3-D sculpture.”
Richard Misrach: The Machine in the Garden
All those petrochemical industries were side by side with antebellum homes; it was like a clash between Gone with the Wind and Blade Runner. I found that remarkable. Also I was struck by how terribly polluted the Mississippi river was, and yet it’s a national treasure.
Nicole Eisenman: Fantastic Worlds
Yeah, there’s definitely a lot of self-portraiture. Even the work that doesn’t look like self-portraiture is self-portraiture. My father is a psychiatrist, and a part of our dialogue together is analyzing the inner lives of various artists, how their unconscious thoughts show up in their work. Those conversations taught me to look at my work in the same way. It’s similar to analyzing a dream. It’s so interesting to me.
On Biodiversity—Timur Si-Qin and Haley Mellin in Conversation
I think that you and I both approach the natural world similarly with our work. In a meditative and devotional way, in which we try to look deeper and deeper into the visuality and details of nature.
